We all know that reading is fundamental in many ways. It helps us to communicate, translate, and most of all gain lots of knowledge about many things.
Many writers read for pleasure or for research. However, many don't read for inspiration.
When engaging in creative writing, it's important to take the time out to read as much as you can. This not only gives you the basics but also serves as inspiration for your next novel or poem. Reading can take your mind to places that you wouldn't ordinarily think of doing if you were just sitting at your desk and pondering what line to write next in your story. It helps to expand your thought process and helps you to focus when it's time get back to working on your story.
Today; pick up a book and start reading for inspiration. It can help you take your storytelling to higher levels and beyond.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP: WORD PLAY: Peek!
When I think of the word "peek", I instantly think of a scene where two people are role playing and one is hiding and peeking out from behind a huge draped curtain or peeking out from behind a door.
However you use it in your writing it can add a sensual feel to your story just by corporating it.
One way it's sure to please your readers is using it in a scene that's adult oriented. Having a scene where two consenting adults are showing a playful and loving side is a good way to incorporate the word "peek." You can definitely get very descriptive in how you describe the sensual playful behavior of the two characters in the scene.
As you get descriptive, remember to take the word to the next level by describing dramatic sounds, like soft running or how sexy feet sound hitting a cold hard wood floor as one character is looking for the other in a playful manner. Meanwhile describe just how the other character is "peeking." Meaning, how hard their heart is beating, if they are sweating, or if they are tickled or laughing inside while they are peeking from behind that huge draped curtain.
Remember; don't be afraid to use words such as "peek" to amp up your dramatic and sexy scenes or your scenes of action or horror. Peek adds flair, possibility and adventure to your story. It can be the defining moment of your story.

BE CREATIVE IN YOUR DRAMATIC SCENES!
We all know that creating dramatic scenes in a story can be a little difficult. It requires thought provoking, realistic antics and savy vocab to make it fit the story and to make it very interesting to your potential readers.
When creating your dramatic scenes, going all in and being over the top is the way to go. Trust me; boring and dramatic doesn't go together at all. You want to make sure the drama, dialogue and your description is ampted up times 100. In doing this, it can spice the story up and also make it come alive and seem real.
It's important to be very creative! One way you can do this is, by focusing on one dramatic scene, and by making sure each character in the scene has great dialogue, and the description of each character along with the description of the action is laid out. Then, when you put it all together and incorporate the scene into your full story, then you can go from there.
Today, think about your dramatic scenes in your story. Ask your self, are they dramatic enough? Do I need to add more to make them seem real and interesting? These are questions you can go back an ask your self after you have laid out the full dramatic scene and if changes need to be made, then put your
creative skills to work and make it happen.

LISTEN TO YOUR INNER WRITER'S SOUL!
Your inner self is best way to understand you as a writer. Listening to your gut feeling is what can take your writing to new heights and then some.
People talk about creative writing like it's a hard thing to master. They say if you don't attend an accredited creative writing program then you don't know what it's like to be creative.
"WRONG!"
I personally take offense to that. I believe anyone can be creative no matter what the critics or he nay-sayers say. If you want to pen a story then start by picking up your pen and start writing. If you want to seriously pen a story, then it depends on you and how deep your passion is to tell that story. That's where your creativity comes in.
Anyone can pen a story, but it takes listening to your inner writer's soul to really tell the story. It takes reaching down in the deepest part of your soul to bring out the passion, to be able to be creative to tell the story how you want it to be told. When you do this, it will give your story depth, life, and gaping mouth readers.
Today; start listening to your inner writer's soul so your story can be infused with the true soul of a storyteller.

WHAT IS CREATIVE WRITING TO YOU?
When you think of what creative writing is to you, what are your thoughts? What story or poem pops in your head? What inspires you to write creatively?
These are things for you to think about as you read on through this post of "what is creative writing to you."
As many of already know creative writing is considered to be any writing, fiction , poetry, or non-fiction, that goes outside the bounds of normal professional, journalistic, academic, and technical forms of literature. That's the definition of creative writing in nut shell.
However, to many of us it means something totally different. We define creative writing by the way we write, tell our own stories, and how we creative a piece of poetry.
When we take ourselves the next level creatively we are creative writing in our way. It's a definition that only you the writer can give to yourself to be able to understand what kind of a writer you are or evenually want to be.
The bottom line is to think about what creative writing means to you through your own experiences, needs, wants, and style. Focus on your insecurities, vulnerabilities, and strengths to creatively capture the very essence of who you are as a writer. That alone will show you what creative writing means to you.

CREATING YOUR OWN HOLIDAY LEGACY BY STORYTELLING!
The holidays is the part of the year that most of us look forward to in a major way. It's a special time that we gather and spend time with friends and family to show how much we love each other.
For this holiday make it special by starting your own family legacy by storytelling.
It's a great way to freeze those special moments that happen during the holiday season with family and friends.
To get started designate someone who you believe has an ok writing ability (doesn't have to be a professional). Then, get all the materials like a scrap-book, pens, lots of paper, cameras and your family. After doing all of this, make sure the individual designated has all the materials needed to start the documentation.
As you attend family dinners/parties be sure to document what's happening so that you won't have much to do when the holidays are all over.
When it's complete seal it away in a safe place for years to come.
Remember the holidays are more than just gift giving. It's about family, friends and love. Take the time to create a holiday family legacy by storytelling.

SURVIVING WRITERS BLOCK!
Writer's block is what most writers say when they are tired and they choose not to continue on with their current story.
Most writers write, stop and then write weeks later when they think about it.
We say, it's writer's being absolutely lazy instead of focusing on completing the story at that time.
The truth to surviving writers block is surviving yourself. It comes down to having the enthusiam to finish what you've started.
For some it's easier said than done, as most writers have a short attention span anyway.
Sticking to your writing goals is key. That' why building a list before you start writing with your goals for the day is where you start. Once you do that, you start writing. Then take small breaks in between to gather your thoughts and let what you have written marinate in your mind. Then, it's back to writing for the length of time you have promised yourself.
It's all about taking the time to build up your writing stamia to get your story finished and having fun in the process. If you can do that, then you can survive writers block.
Today, take the steps and survive writer's block; the stink of writing.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! WORD PLAY: "Tingle"
This word is an automatic when creating a hot and steamy love story or very gritty nasty black love drama.
When I think of this word I immediately get goose bumps! It has a ripple effect, much like when your lover is caressing you in one spot, which automatically makes those other spots jump to the tenth power!
You can use this word in a number of ways in your story. Many people use it as a description as they describe how one charater feels. Writers also use it in performance poetry to give a smooth, yet in your face effect.
There are power in words, but more power in the description of the word. The more you can describe the word the more your readers will get wrapped up in you stories/poetry.
Today, use "tingle" in a way that you never have before, and realize the potential a word can bring to spice up your story/poetry.

ARE YOU SLOWING DOWN YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS?
Creativity is what sets us apart for the next 100 writers. Are you standing in the way of yours?
Think about it as you read further.
Many writers don't realize that actually saying they have writers block, actually gives them writers block. At that moment you have participated in shutting down all the creative notions that you would of had. It says you have made your own bed, so now you move away from your pen and not write a lick.
When you participate in writers block you keep yourself from thinking, acting, and progressing in your writing. It's not something writers like, but actively participate in.
You have to stay true to your own creative process and keep it moving. When you do this, then it's full speed ahead and writer's block won't be on the brain at all.
Today; stay true, active, creative and positive in your creative process.
Remember, you are the only one who can slow it down.

MIXING IT UP: The Color Combination In Literature!
The facinating aspect of writing is that; it has no "color" bounds.
As a writer you can write about whatever you want, and that includes different cultures, races and genders. This is the very aspect that makes a writer's work stand out.
Literature isn't bound any ethics or code that says you have to stay in your lane or with your own culture. It teaches us that we can explore and define who we and how we think about others. Those who master it are more creative in the profession and aren't locked in a box.
Being creative and expressing your thoughts by creating a story or a poem about another culture or gender can open your work up to another audience, and can teach your culture own about others in many ways.
Today; Think about creating a story around a black person (if your white), a white person (if your black), a latino person (if your black or white) to show how diverse you are in storytelling.
Remember, it may be the one thing to set you apart from the rest.
*Writing Tip: To enhance your storytelling about another race or culture, make sure you research the history so that you know things like dialect, food, mannerism etc...
These are the things that create characters and make your storytelling oh so interesting.*

William Faulkner And Mina Loy's Love Child!
(Literary Barie@ www.literarybarbie.blogspot.com) If William Faulkner And Mina Loy gave birth to a poem what would it be like? Do you think it would be poetic or poetically dysfunctional?
We believe it would be both as both poets were very eclectic in nature and bithed amazing poetry by themselves.
Here's what we think their love child would be read like: Here's two poems interwined by two amazing poets with two differient styles.
Get your read on with "Sappics And Gertrude Stein"; now known as "Sappics of Gertrude Stein."

COOL SUMMER NIGHTS FOR WRITING INSPIRATION!

FIND YOUR STORY IDEA IN "YOUR STORY."
Some say it's hard to dig deep to pen a great novel. Some say it's a piece a cake. We say "find your story idea "in your story."
When you dig in the deepest part of you, it allows you to think about what's there. It sends you on a phenomenal ride into your own story; pieced together with words, sentences, verbs, and interesting experiences, all courtesy of your every day life.
We all know finding something to write about isn't that hard at all. It comes down to thinking and devouring the energy you posses in order to be as creative as you can.
It comes down to you, the writer in every sense of what you have to offer and what it is you want to say.
Today; think about finding your story idea in "your story."
Remember; your story will enhance any fiction you decide to pen now and forever.

WRITING LIKE GOD!
The almighty father above is brilliant, amazing, and shows us how to be, what to be, and to just be.
Taking that all into perspective should truly make us brilliant writers on a path to writing success. However, it doesn't work that way for all.
The writers that "write like God" are the writers who practice and are driven to get their message out to the world. They are always working and taking every avenue there is to get their next story complete, packaged and out to their reading audience. Much like God...who teaches us not to give up, even if we feel like we like we want to.
The beauty of writing like God is that; it gives us a feeling of empowerment, and wits. Doing this enables us to reach down in the deepest part of our soul and believe that we can create and write the best story in that moment.
All in all, it's our natural spiritual sense that nudges us when we want to quit, but it also keeps us grounded and more creative to propell our writing careers to the next level.
Today; write like God and dig deep in your inner writing soul for that spark to create the best story possible.

AS IT IS BY: Edith Nesbit
If you and I
Had wings to fly -
Great wings like seagulls' wings -
How would we soar
Above the roar
Of loud unneeded things!
We two would rise
Through changing skies
To blue unclouded space,
And undismayed
And unafraid
Meet the sun face to face.
But wings we know not;
The feathers grow not
To carry us so high;
And low in the gloom
Of a little room
We weep and say good-bye.

The hip hop music genre is very influential and amazing to many all over the world.
So many that partake in this way of music are natural poets that can express themselves in ways the "great ones" could only dream of in their day.
As writers in American society we have many influences that can take our storytelling to the next level.
Hip Hop is one of them.
When you listen to the lyrics of Jay Z, Sean XLG Mitchell, Tupac, and the Notorious BIG; you hear hurt, pain, happiness, saddness, and love all in the same line.
We as writers can take those words and turn them into an amazing story that brings all of those things to life in more ways than one.
The influence from this music genre on writers is great! It teaches us (contray to it's critics) that we all feel, and see some of the same things. It gives us enthusiam and true grit that we can put in a story without feeling ashamed.
Today; listen and take a writing que from hip hop music. It's music, and poetry brought to life by amazing people who has lived and are still are living in American Lit!

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN BY: Anne Sexton
You said the anger would come back
just as the love did.
I have a black look I do not
like. It is a mask I try on.
I migrate toward it and its frog
sits on my lips and defecates.
It is old. It is also a pauper.
I have tried to keep it on a diet.
I give it no unction.
There is a good look that I wear
like a blood clot. I have
sewn it over my left breast.
I have made a vocation of it.
Lust has taken plant in it
and I have placed you and your
child at its milk tip.
Oh the blackness is murderous
and the milk tip is brimming
and each machine is working
and I will kiss you when
I cut up one dozen new men
and you will die somewhat,
again and again.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! WORD PLAY: Vibrate!
Tonight's spicy and flirty word is "vibrate."
When I think of this delicious word it definitely brings a feeling so yummy and so mesmerizing, that it takes your thoughts and your heart beat to another level.
This word is all about the "thump" or the "bump" to be exact. Hearing something vibrate is like a mystical evolution that conjures up little thoughts that float down your brainstem, to the tips of your fingers.
It's a natural sound of all things we hear, see, taste, smell and touch.
Remember when using the word vibrate in your writing, think of those natural things that you tend to ignore. Walk outside and have a conversation with nature to understand what this word is all about. Then use it in your writing and explore it to the literary fullest.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! POETRY PLAY: Water!
WATER BY: Literary Diva BTR of Diva's House Of Literary Coffee
When my feet hit the ground the feeling of juice that runs through my body gives my organs power like no other.
When I start eating my mind masturbates to its own drum as life notifies it.
As I start to feel my thoughts my body tingles as life trickles to every point to hit the spot.
The revolution for the day has begun and I am in the midst of it as my body and my whole existence is taken on an oceanic trip.
A poke, a tingle, a pain, a drip, is all moments of life that takes it to another level.
Never thirsty, I’m filled with wet lusciousness and grand opulence of holy juice to quench my thirst of opportunity.
Sipping on sexy, sipping on power is my body as it transcends into validation.
The revolution for the day has begun and I am in the midst of it as my body and my whole existence is taken on an oceanic trip.

Never thirsty I’m filled with wet lusciousness and grand opulence of holy juice to quench my thirst of opportunity.
Reminding me the revolution for the day has begun and I am in the midst of it as my body and my whole existence is taken on an oceanic trip.
Waking up I feel my mouth water and touch all of my senses to alert them.
When my feet hit the ground the feeling of juice that runs through my body gives my organs power like no other.

The revolution for the day has begun and I am in the midst of it as my body and my whole existence is taken on an oceanic trip.
The soft but sometimes rough intimate notifications are astounding but breathe life in me.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! POETRY PLAY: I Wondered Lonely As A Cloud!
I WONDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD BY: William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! POETRY PLAY: Dying Their Wings!
DYING THEIR WINGS BY: Vachel Lindsay
The moon's a cottage with a door.
Some folks can see it plain.
Look, you may catch a glint of light,
A sparkle through the pane,
Showing the place is brighter still
Within, though bright without.
There, at a cosy open fire
Strange babes are grouped about.
The children of the wind and tide--
The urchins of the sky,
Drying their wings from storms and things
So they again can fly.

Reading is informative and fun!
When a writer reads daily it helps with their writing. It gives them new ideas and news ways to make their stories come alive.
As you know, reading is more than just finding new ways to tell a story. It's pure inspiration and then some.
Words on paper gives us messages that we may not get from our friends or family. It gives us that epiphany and it gives us lessons.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! POETRY PLAY: I Knew A Woman!
I KNEW A WOMAN BY: Theordore Roethke
I knew a woman, lovely in her bones,
When small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them;
Ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:
The shapes a bright container can contain!
Of her choice virtues only gods should speak,
Or English poets who grew up on Greek
(I'd have them sing in chorus, cheek to cheek.)
How well her wishes went! She stroked my chin,
She taught me Turn, and Counter-turn, and stand;
She taught me Touch, that undulant white skin:
I nibbled meekly from her proffered hand;
She was the sickle; I, poor I, the rake,
Coming behind her for her pretty sake
(But what prodigious mowing did we make.)
Love likes a gander, and adores a goose:
Her full lips pursed, the errant note to seize;
She played it quick, she played it light and loose;
My eyes, they dazzled at her flowing knees;
Her several parts could keep a pure repose,
Or one hip quiver with a mobile nose
(She moved in circles, and those circles moved.)
Let seed be grass, and grass turn into hay:
I'm martyr to a motion not my own;
What's freedom for? To know eternity.
I swear she cast a shadow white as stone.
But who would count eternity in days?
These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:
(I measure time by how a body sways.)

Growing in your writing is a must. The more you write, the more your writing should get better.
As you write more and more, your growth should be more apparent in how you tell your stories. You should be able to recognize it by looking back on past stories that you have written.
It's very important as a writer to track your growth so you can see what you must do to improve daily.
Today; think about how far you've come in your writing. Always look to improve no matter how successful you become as a writer. At the end of the day it keeps you in check and humble.

TO A STRANGER BY: Walt Whitman
PASSING stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you,
You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me, as of a dream,)
I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you,
All is recall’d as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured,
You grew up with me, were a boy with me, or a girl with me,
I ate with you, and slept with you—your body has become not yours only, nor left my body
mine
only,
You give me the pleasure of your eyes, face, flesh, as we pass—you take of my beard,
breast,
hands, in return,
I am not to speak to you—I am to think of you when I sit alone, or wake at night alone,
I am to wait—I do not doubt I am to meet you again,
I am to see to it that I do not lose you.

His quaint opinions—to inspect—
His thought to ascertain
On Themes concern our mutual mind—
The Literature of Man—
What interested Scholars—most—
What Competitions ran—
When Plato—was a Certainty—
And Sophocles—a Man—
When Sappho—was a living Girl—
And Beatrice wore
The Gown that Dante—deified—
Facts Centuries before
He traverses—familiar—
As One should come to Town—
And tell you all your Dreams—were true—
He lived—where Dreams were born—
His presence is Enchantment—
You beg him not to go—
Old Volume shake their Vellum Heads
And tantalize—just so—

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! Poetry Play: Serenade!
SERENADE BY: Edgar Allen Poe
So sweet the hour, so calm the time,
I feel it more than half a crime,
When Nature sleeps and stars are mute,
To mar the silence ev'n with lute.
At rest on ocean's brilliant dyes
An image of Elysium lies:
Seven Pleiades entranced in Heaven,
Form in the deep another seven:
Endymion nodding from above
Sees in the sea a second love.
Within the valleys dim and brown,
And on the spectral mountain's crown,
The wearied light is dying down,
And earth, and stars, and sea, and sky
Are redolent of sleep, as I
Am redolent of thee and thine
Enthralling love, my Adeline.
But list, O list,- so soft and low
Thy lover's voice tonight shall flow,
That, scarce awake, thy soul shall deem
My words the music of a dream.
Thus, while no single sound too rude
Upon thy slumber shall intrude,
Our thoughts, our souls- O God above!
In every deed shall mingle, love.
I feel it more than half a crime,
When Nature sleeps and stars are mute,
To mar the silence ev'n with lute.

And earth, and stars, and sea, and sky
